Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs) for PCBA
What’s the BGA Deal? Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly has come a long way since the early days of through-hole components. With the advent of surface mount technology (SMT), components have become smaller and more densely packed, making PCB assembly more challenging. One type of component that has become increasingly popular in recent years is […]
